I'm BRG and tan, so I love it, but as for nostalgia, the idea of matching an 8 cylinder to the E-Type is stupid.
Inline 6 or get out. LOL

 

gotta evolve man.....plus, if dealers are going fetch a premium, there has to be a reason and that reason needs to be more than a funky green paint.

 

Interesting but not impressed, wonder what they are going to charge for that touch up job? Definitely not trade up worthy imo. Cmon jag, add a 700 hp plant.

 

The problem isn't the engine, it's the gearbox.
They could tune the engine to 700 hp very easily and cheaply, but then the torque would be over 700 Nm and the ZF 8HP70 is rated for 700 Nm max, that's what the "70" signifies. Although it can probably handle a bit more than 700 Nm with little or no risk it would not be a good look to have the engine exceed the specified gearbox max torque.
The solution is to fit the ZF 8HP90 instead which is rated for 900 Nm max but I understand that 'box is a fair bit more costly that the 70.

 

Love that color combo, a little lighter green and the right color interior. Only 60 for the world?
